Kalshi’s mission is to bring trading on real-world events into the financial mainstream, placing event contracts on equal footing with traditional assets like stocks and bonds. Our new partnership with Coinbase Custody brings us one step closer to our goal by safeguarding all USDC held on Kalshi with one of the most trusted names in digital asset custody.
Every deposit, trade, and payout on Kalshi is now protected by Coinbase’s institutional-grade security.
By combining Kalshi’s regulated exchange with Coinbase’s custody infrastructure and the stability of USDC, we are setting a new standard for how event contracts operate. The result is a trading environment that is secure, compliant, and built for growth.
Security meets innovation
Prediction markets rely on stability and trust. When participants trade on outcomes, whether it is the next Fed rate decision, the passage of a bill, or the number of hurricanes this year, they need to know that their funds are as stable.
That is where this partnership comes in.
Coinbase Custody is the industry benchmark for crypto custodial services, trusted by many of the world’s largest institutions. Its infrastructure delivers the speed, compliance, and transparency that align seamlessly with Kalshi’s regulated framework under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
Together, we are building a system where market integrity and financial security work hand in hand, ensuring that innovation in event trading never comes at the expense of trust.
Why USDC matters
Kalshi’s markets are powered by USDC, a fully backed digital dollar that combines the efficiency of crypto with the reliability of traditional finance. USDC offers price stability, instant settlement, and seamless interoperability, which makes it ideal for the real-time nature of prediction markets.
With Coinbase Custody safeguarding USDC on Kalshi, participants can trade confidently knowing their funds are held in a regulated, secure, and transparent environment.
Trusted and transformative
Financial innovation succeeds when it is both trusted and transformative. This partnership proves that event trading can be both. Kalshi’s regulated exchange structure, combined with Coinbase’s world-class custody and USDC’s reliability, delivers a foundation built for long-term stability and growth.
We are creating not just a new asset class but a new way for the world to interact with information, risk, and probability.
